My son is a young adult still in college and we have a good relationship. We have been dealing with something traumatic in that he had a stroke in Nov. The scariest thing I have ever seen. We got him to the ER in 10 minutes so the damage is minimal. It turned out he had a hole in his heart that was repaired. He is in OT and speech now and due to make a full recovery and go back to school, living in his apartment soon. My middle daughter turned 18 last February and by March she had run away and shacked up with some wild girls and their mom where drugs and alcohol were allowed. Needless to say she showed up on Mother's day and we took her to the hospital where she went inpatient and then rehab. Now she is living in sober housing barely able to make it. She missed prom and graduation although the school let her finish her work and graduate in December. I can feel the regret she lives with each day, knowing she only has herself to blame.

I recently moved back to the same state and my daughter is so happy about that. We are in constant touch and I babysit when the weather allows. She went though a turbulent time with bipolar So we have a lot in common. I recently gave in a bought a cell phone so we can text. I do get lots of great photos of the grandkids tho!

My incommunative (new word, since I don't know how to spell) son called the other evening and we talked a good while. He called this morning to say a dog ran out in front of his car and the car was damaged. The car is still in our name, but he makes the payments to us. He's planning on selling it soon.

My other son called again last night. He calls frequently. We talk for a least an hour usually, sometimes more. He often asks for advice.
